UNIVERSITY  OF  MONTANA  SUMMER  SCHOOL 


Natural  Environment  of  Missoula 


ISSOULA  is  beautifully  located  in  one  of  the  most  picturesque  val- 
leys of  western  Montana.  In  all  directions  high  mountains  rise, 
clothed  with  evergreen  forests,  through  which  cold,  clear  moun- 
tain streams  rush  to  join  the  Hell  Gate,  the  Blackfoot  and  the 
Bitter  Root  rivers.  Missoula  is  near  the  junction  of  these  streams 
at  the  mouth  of  the  famous  Hell  Gate  canyon,  storied  in  Indian  tradition  and 
the  early  annals  of  discovery  and  immigration.  A plain  extends'  westward 
to  where  the  land  rises  to  the  foot  hills  of  the  Bitter  Root  range,  with  the 
high  summits  of  St.  Mary’s  and  Lolo  on  the  skyline.  Missoula  is  fifty  miles 
as  the  crow  flies,  due  west  of  the  continental  divide  at  the  head  of  the  Black- 
foot  river.  Flathead  Lake  lies  forty  miles  to  the  north,  and  southward  it  is 
fifty  or  sixty  to  the  Como  peaks  and  lakes,  both  regions  easily  accessible, 
and  of  surpassing  interest  to  the  summer  tourist. 

Surrounded  thus  by  a country  rich  in  its  natural  attractiveness,  Missoula 
offers  many  opportunities  for  local  excursions,  and  these  will  be  made  a spe- 
cial feature  of  the  sessions  of  the  summer  school.  Week-end  trips  will  be 
arranged,  which,  at  very  slight  expense,  will  furnish  delightful  recreation 
out  of  doors  at  the  most  attractive  season  of  the  year. 

It  is  about  an  hour’s  ride  from  Missoula  to  the  Flathead  Reservation, 


THE  LIBRARY 


UNIVERSITY  OF  MONTANA  SUMMER  SCHOOL 


where  are  the  Buffalo  Park,  St.  Ignatius  Mission,  and  the  Mission  moun- 
tains. There  is  a grassy  mountain  valley  near  Arlee,  a plain  hemmed  in  by 
rugged  mountains.  Here  for  a few  days  every  summer  the  landscape  is  dot- 
ted with  tepees,  and  the  remnants  of  the  Selish  tribes  conduct  their  ances- 
tral dances  in  full  panoply.  This  is  always  an  occasion  of  great  interest  to 
many  in  the  opportunity  it  affords  of  seeing  something  of  aboriginal  life 
in  Montana,  and  of  becoming  acquainted  with  some  of  the  noted  and  pic- 
turesque characters'  of  a well  known  race. 

Southward,  from  Missoula,  is  the  famous  Bitter  Root  Valley,  one  of  the 
most  fertile  and  beautiful  regions  of  Montana.  It  lies  under  the  evening 
shadows  of  the  Bitter  Root  range,  which  rises  like  a wall  along  the  western 
border  of  the  state.  An  auto  ride  of  a few  hours  over  splendid  roads,  past 
the  rich  fields  and  extensive  orchards  of  prosperous  country  homes,  always 
in  near  view  of  the  majestic  mountains,  and  often  skirting  the  shore  of  the 
beautiful  river  which  traverses  this  valley,  is  an  exhilarating  experience  not 
soon  to  be  forgotten.  The  Bitter  Root  Inn  is  delightfully  situated,  and  a 
little  rest  and  refreshment  here  is  not  the  least  of  the  pleasures  of1  the 
trip.  From  this  valley  several  other  points  are  accessible.  The  Lolo  Hot 
Springs  are  reached  by  a very  enjoyable  stage  ride,  and  the  ascent  of  Mt. 
Lolo,  the  most  commanding  eminence  of  the  region,  is  well  worth  the  effort. 

The  Rattlesnake  canyon  is  a favorite  resort  for  short  trips  from  the 
city.  Parties  going  by  wagon  may  easily  reach  the  falls  and  return  the 
same  day.  The  ride  is  delightful,  the  woods  rich  in  flowers  and  the  stream 
of  great  beauty  and  interest.

Of  Special  Interest  to  Teachers 


rN  THE  Department  of  Psychology  and  Education  will  be  offered  a 
rich  variety  of  courses  designed  for  those  secondary  and  elementary 
teachers  of  Montana  or  other  states,  who  desire  to  pursue  work  for 
professional  advancement.  The  department  is  able  to  announce 
thus  early  the  appointment  of  three  of  the  leading  specialists  in 
method  in  this  country:  Miss  Helen  Herron  of  New  Orleans;  Miss'  Ida  Van- 
dergaw,  method  supervisor  of  the  schools  of  Oakland,  Cal.,  and  Miss  Alma 
Binzel,  method  specialist  from  the  Winona,  Wis.,  Normal  School.  The  fac- 
ulty of  the  department  will  be  augmented  by  the  addition  of  a number  of 
eminent  professors  from  other  universities  in  the  United  States  and  Eng- 
land; and  by  special  lecturers  selected  from  a large  list  of  persons  who  have 
attained  great  leadership  in  one  or  another  field  of  education.  The  meet- 
ing of  the  N.  E.  A.  at  Salt  Lake  in  July  gives  us  unusual  advantages  for 
securing  lecturers  this  season. 

The  department  will  attempt  to  arrange  courses  that  are  most  desired 
by  teachers  and,  with  this  in  view,  a circular  letter  has  been  sent  to  city 
and  county  superintendents  and  principals  of  high  schools.  The  following 
courses  can  be  announced  at  this  time:  General  Psychology;  Educational 
.trsychology,  History  and  Principles  of  Education,  School  Hygiene,  Modern 
Educational  Problems,  Primary  Grade  Methods,  Intermediate  Grade  Methods, 
Grammar  Grade  Methods,  Recent  Development  in  Rural  Education,  School 
Playgrounds  and  Playground  Work,  The  Development  of  Household  Arts  in 
the  School,  Administration  and  Supervision  of  School  Systems.  In  addition 
to  these,  the  department  will  attempt  to  add  any  of  the  following  courses 
according  as  there  seems  to  be  demand  for  them:  Psychology  of  Abnormal 
and  Defective  Types,  Secondary  Education,  Kindergarten  Methods  and  Dem- 
onstration, Music  in  the  Schools,  The  Development  of  Manual  Arts  in  the 
School. 


EXPENSES 

REGISTRATION — A general  registration  fee  of  $10.00  will  be  charged 
for  any  or  all  courses. 

ROOM  AND  BOARD — The  University  will  undertake  to  provide  accom- 
modations (including  room  and  board)  at  the  rate  of  $30.00  for  the  six 
weeks’  session,  for  all  students  who  make  application  before  May  15th,  and 
who  forward  therewith  a deposit  of  $5.00.  The  dormitory  on  the  campus  will 
be  reserved  for  women.  For  further  particulars,  address  the  Secretary  of  the 
University.  Students  who  wish  to  secure  accommodations  in  private  families 
may  do  so,  making  their  own  arrangements.  Rooms  may  be  had  for  from 
$6.00  to  $12.00  per  month.  Such  persons  may  secure  board  at  the  University 
dining  hall  at  the  rate  of  $4.50  per  week,  or  for  $24.00  for  six  weeks1,  if  paid 
in  advance. 

TRAVEL — The  authorities  of  the  University  wish  to  place  the  Summer 
School  within  the  reach  of  all  the  teachers  and  students  of  Montana.  In 
view  of  this,  the  cost  of  round  trip  railway  fare  (based  on  cheapest  route 
and  not  including  meals  or  sleeper)  less  $5.00  will  be  refunded  to  those  per- 
sons regularly  enrolled.  This  privilege  cannot  be  extended  to  persons  living 
outside  of  the  state,  who,  however,  may  find  it  advantageous  to  buy  tickets 
via  Glacier  Park  or  Yellowstone  Park.  Hence  for  Montana  teachers  and  stu- 
dents it  will  be  seen  that  the  total  expense  of  the  Summer  School  need  not 
exceed  the  following:  Registration,  $10.00;  Board  and  Room  for  the  session, 
$30.00;  Railway  fare,  $5.00.  TOTAL,  $45.00.

The  University  Biological  Station 


HE  Biological  Station  of  the  University  will  offer  courses  during 
June  and  July  at  the  station  grounds  on  the  eastern  shore  of  Flat- 
head  Lake.  A two  story  brick  building,  on  a beautiful  and  com- 
manding site,  in  a rich  and  virgin  field,  makes  possible  work  of 
every  grade,  from  that  of  the  beginner  to  that  of  the  specialist. 
Full  information  will  be  given  in  a separate  bulletin.  Courses  will  be  offered 
in  Botany,  Zoology,  Photography  and  Nature  Study.  Special  attention  will 
be  given  to  the  work  and  needs  of  teachers'.  Every  facility  will  be  offered 
to  advanced  students  and  investigators. 

The  station  owns  eighty-seven  acres  of  beautiful  timber  land,  with  nearly 
a mile  and  a half  of  shore  line.  The  beautiful  Mission  mountains  rise  quite 
abruptly  from  the  lake  to  Alpine  heights.  The  scenery  is  wild,  rugged  and 
interesting.  At  the  station,  work  and  recreation  may  be  combined  so  as  to 
give  the  very  best  results  for  a summer  outing. 

For  information,  address  Morton  J.  Elrod,  Director  Biological  Station, 
Missoula,  Montana.
